...were 138 fairly large canvases and water colors by twelve artists in which there appeared, in brilliant color, circles, triangles, prisms, ruled lines, odd squiggles and amorphous blobs of paint. There were in addition 60 paintings by near abstractionists such as Modigliani, Picasso, Marc Chagall and the Impressionist Seurat, in which could be discovered such recognizable objects as cats, boats, bowls of fruit, doorways and French peasant women...

Because of this friendship Degas, already an established artist, showed his pictures in the famed first exhibition of the Impressionists in 1874, was infuriated for the rest of his life when critics continued to call him an Impressionist.

This embarrassing artistic deficiency was remedied when Manhattan's Dealer Paul Rosenberg and Director Fiske Kimball of Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Museum of Art got together on a landscape painted in 1904, two years before the artist's death. Dealer Rosenberg reasonably priced his Cèzanne at $40,000, knocked off 10% for spot cash...
